We have a great selection of STALLS selling some fantastic items, from jewellery, handbags, cakes, toys, cards, gifts and craft items. A few pitches are still available, so please call to book – they are only £10 for the day!

There will be a few children’s rides and lots of games for the little ones! There are going to be a few adult games – anyone for a spot of WELLY DRINKIN? and a TUG OF WAR? – and other stuff like morris dancers, a couple of vintage tractors and a vintage steam engine.

We have a choice of delicious flavoured sausages (barbeque, sweet chilli, tomato & basil) and burgers (beef, pork and apple) on the BBQ, all made and provided by the local butcher.

For your evening meal, we are serving a fantastic CARVERY with a selection of meats/fish PLUS our infamous STEAK SALE. Tasty vegetarian options are also available. This is served between 5pm and 9pm – please book a table to reserve your slot as we will probably be busy!

The bands start just after 2pm and will be playing all day!

Bands confirmed are:

DAWSON (2.15pm-3.00pm/3.15pm-4.00pm)

Formed in 2009, all members of Dawson come from professional and semi professional former bands. Paul Jackson on Bass was even a member of chart topping 80’s band T’Pau, alongside Shropshire singer Carole Decker. Other members have played in bands supporting acts like The Libertines, Whitesnake and Mansun. Whilst the band is now busy writing new material, the majority of songs on the set list are high quality interpretations of new and classic rock covers. Just what’s needed to get the party started!

THE TASTE (4.30pm-5.30pm)

Formed in 2009, this Shropshire quintet exploded onto the relative calmness of the Shropshire music scene, with rave live reviews and a rapidly acquired, fervent fan base. Having already been signed to Kittiwake Records and with nods to The Happy Mondays and fellow Mancunians, Oasis, these guys aim to impress with their upcoming single and album release.

THE MEAN RED SPIDERS (6.00pm-7.00pm/7.15pm-8.15pm)

The Mean Red Spiders are a Whitchurch based band, playing blues standards with their own twist. Passion in their music is evident as they strive to achieve an authentic 1950’s Chicago blues sound with tight drums, pulsing bass, soaring twin guitars, wailing harmonica and gravel-like vocals.
